The entropy gap conjecture for closed hypersurfaces in dimensions at most six

About 12 years old · traced to

Let Mn⊂Rn+1M^n\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1} be a closed hypersurface with n≤6n\leq 6, and let λ(M)\lambda(M) denote its entropy. Let λ(Sn)\lambda(\mathbb{S}^n) be the entropy of the round sphere. Entropy gap conjecture. The entropy satisfies

λ(M)≥λ(Sn).\lambda(M)\geq\lambda(\mathbb{S}^n).

This is the zero-gap version of the entropy gap theorem for closed self-shrinkers and is relevant to understanding singularities of mean curvature flow through the monotonicity of entropy. The conjecture was recently proved by Bernstein and Wang.
